SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 740,015, dated September29, 1903.

Application filed December 26, 1900. Serial No. 41,145. (No model.)

Toall whom itmaty concern: Be it known that I, ESPIRIDION HIPOLITO,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the countyof Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new andusefulImprovements in Pivoted Windows, of

and assemblage and of more convenient op eration than pivoted windowsheretofore" known. a An object of this invention is to avoid all need ofmortising and to fit the parts in the sash by means of a saw andboring-bit only;

In my former application, SerialNo. 18,459, filed in the United StatesPatent Oflice May 29, 1900, I have shown a sash-body provided in itsedge with a groove, a pivot member fas tened to the sash-body andextending outward from the bottom of the groove, a tongue mounted in thegroove and provided with a hole and fitted to slide upon the stem of thepivot member, a bar on the grooved edge of the sash-body and providedwith a groove to face the groove of the sash-body, a socket memberfastened to the bar and provided with a socket to receive the stem ofthe pivot member, a screw screwed through the socket member and into thepivot member, and means for movingthe-tongue across and retracting itfrom the plane of the contacting faces of the bar and the sash-body. Inmy present application I employ the above-de-.

- scribed construction. 7

I do not herein make any claim broadly to said construction, for thereason that it is claimed in said former application.

My present invention relates to improvemen ts by means of which theoperation of the window is brought positively under the control of theoperator. In the present invention I furnish each window-sash with meanswhereby the operator can positively adjust the tongues in position forholding the window against turning on its pivots and can also adjust thetongues in position fully withdrawn within the stile to allow the windowto turn on its pivots. In some embodiments of my invention in order tocause the respective tongues to safely remain in each of the differentpositions to which they may be adj usted I have found it desirable toprovide resilient devices frict-ionally engaging the sides of This meanscomprises two draw bars or rods for each of the tongues, respectively,said draw bars or rods being fastened to the tongue and extending intothe stile of the sash. The draw bars or rods may extend through thestile, or the extension thereof may be made by suitable connectionswhich can be handled tov operate the tongue from the inner face or theinner edge of the stile, as the case may be, as

illustrated in the accompanying drawings. 'My invention also pertains tothe construction of the window-frame.

Figure I is a fragmental elevation of a window embodying my invention.Parts are broken to expose interior parts. Fig. II is a section, on anenlarged scale, on line II II,Fig. I. Fig. III is a section on lineindicated by III 111, Fig. II, showin g a crank-shaft screwed directlyinto the wooden member of the sash. Fig. IV is a fragmental sectionalelevation showing a modified form of-my invention. .IV IV, Fig. V, showsthe plane of section.

Fig. V is a fr'agmental plan section on line V V, Fig. IV. Fig. VI is afragmental view showing,,my invention applied inanother form. Fig. VIIis a section on line VII VII, Fig. VI. Fig. VIII is a section on lineVIII VIII, Fig. VI. Fig. IX is a view of a still further modification ofthe'inventi'on, in

which two turning members are provided,

one connected with the upper. ends of the two tongues and the otherconnected with the lower ends of said tongues. Fig. X is a sectionacross one side of the window frame and sash.

Ha indicates a window-sash body furnished with grooves 17 bin twoopposite edges of said bod y.

0 indicates a grooved bar or sash-carrying strip, the grooved face ofwhich is applied to one of the grooved edges of the body a. The groovedbar 0 is mounted with its grooves 01 facing the groove 1) of thesash-body edge to which said bar is applied.

6 indicates a tongue for the way formed by the conjoined grooves d and bof the grooved edge formed by stilet and the bar 0. In ageneral wayfindicates the pivot through the tongueeand pivoting the barcand thegrooved edge or stile Z together. c indicates another tonguemounted inthe other side of the sashbody and in the grooved bar or sash-carryingstrip, the grooved face of which is applied to the other of said groovededgesviz., stile Z. The opposite edges of the sash are correspondinglyconstructed.

g indicates a draw bar or rod in the form of a link fastened, by meansof a pivot 72, to the tongue c to move said tongue at a right angle tothe grooves in the sash. The links or rods 9 extend into the sash-stileZ from the bottom of the groove 1) thereof. Preferably two draw-bars areprovided for each tongue, and they are arranged on opposite sides of andequidistant from the pivot. Suitable positive means are furnished foroperating the links and constitute virtual extensions of the links ordraw-bars, which are connected with the tongue. In the form shown inFigs. I, II, and III a short shaft 1' is set into the sash, preferablyflush therewith and at right angles to the link g, and is furnished atits inner end with a wrist-pinj, which is preferably integral with theshaft and is inserted through a hole g in the link g. The shaft z ispreferably in the form of a cylindrical plug, which is screw-threadedthroughout a portion of its body, as indicated at i, and is furnishedwith means, such as the slot 1), by which it may be turned. Preferablyan internallyscrew-threaded metal sleeve 7.: is furnished, the samebeing driven into a hole bored into the sash to receive the same. Thescrewthreads 11 of the shaft 1 (shown in Fig. II,) however, may bescrewed directly into the wood, as suggested in Fig. III, from which thesleeve is omitted. A link 9 and shaft 1' therefor is preferably providednear each end of the tongue, so that by appropriately turning the shaftt' the crank-pinj will operate the link to force the tongue out or in,as may be desired.

In Figs. IV and V the link g is pivoted to a lever m, which is pivotedby a pivot It to the stile of the sash-body, which stile is providedwith a recess 0, and the lever projects into the recess when otherwisefully chamwithdraw the tongues from the pivoted sliding bars. Then thewindow is free to be turned on its pivots. When it is desired to againfasten the window in upright position, the window will be brought intoappropriate position and the shafts i turned to throw the tongues intotheir respective bars or sashcarrying strips.

In the form shown in Figs. IV and V when the window is unlocked theoperator who wishes to turn the sash on its pivot will first draw thefree ends of the levers m, (two being provided for each stile,) and willthus withdraw the tongues from their respective grooves and allow thewindow to be turned. By the reverse operation the window will be againsecured in place.

The form shown in Figs. VI, VII, and VIII is the simplest and in somerespects the most desirable form of my invention. In this form the drawbars or rods g are screws which are screwed into the tongues and extendthrough the stiles Z l, respectively, of the sash. Two draw-bars g areprovided for each of the tongues e and are screwed directly into thetongues e". 1 indicates U-shaped springs which are seated in thesashgrooves b to frictionally engage the tongues pertaining to thestiles, respectively. The purpose of these springs is to hold thetongues friction-tight in different edgewise positions in theirrespective grooves b. These springs are especially desirable for theform of my invention shown in Figs. VI, VII, and VIII, but may beapplied or omitted in any of the forms shown in the drawings.

With the form shown in Figs. VI, VII, and

VIII the operator who desires to turn the sash upon its pivots will takehold of the heads of the screwsg, pertainin'gto one of the tongues, andwill pull upon them, thus drawing the tongues 6, respectively, into thegrooves of the sash stiles, respectively. When the tongues are fullyseated in the sash-stiles, the sash can be readily swung upon itspivots.

q indicates tacks or brads for fastening the springs 13 in position.

In the form shown in Fig. IX the turning shafts or members 1" arelocated midway of the rails, at the top and bottom of the window, andeach is furnished with two crankpins j, arranged on opposite sides,respectively, of the shaft 1. g indicates two links or connections whichare pivoted, respectively, to the crank-pinsj and extend, respectively,through the stiles and through holes 7 in the sash-rails, respectively,and are pivoted by pivots s to the sash-carrying strips e In practicaloperation the person desiring to turn the window on its pivots will, bymeans of a screw-driver or other suitable instrument, turn the shafts1', thus simultaneously moving both of the connecting rods or links 9and will thus draw the tongue out of its locked position, so that thesash and the frame are connected solely by the pivotal device. When thetongue is fully seated in the 7 members.

grooves in the sash, said sash may be freely turned in any direction,the tongue being retained out of the way and entirely protected frominjury and prevented from wearing off the edges of the groove inthenon-pivoted In the several figures, u indicates the window frame,furnished with the dovetail grooves or runways o, in which thesash-carrying strips slide. By means of this dovetail arrangement thesash-carrying strips are held firmly throughout their entire length andare prevented from springing out from the sides of the window-frame attop and bottom when the sash is swung on its pivots.

The dovetail form ofgroove is produced by means of bevel-stops, as moreparticularly.

shown in Fig. X, in which the inside stop 12 is beveled upon the face13, which engages the sash-carrying strip, and the outer or blind.

. stop'14 is furnished with abevel-groove 15,

into which the bevel face 16 of the outer sashcarrying strip fits.

17 indicates the pulley-stile of the window frame, to whichv the insidestop 12, the blindstop 14, and the parting head or stop 18 are fastened.

It is to be understood that the lower and upper sashes a and a arepivoted to their respective sash-carrying. strips 0 and c in the sameway and-that the upper sash is to be provided with means for locking thesash to and unlocking it from its sash-carrying strips in substantiallythe same manner as that employed for the lower sash.

It will be seen that in all the forms of myinvention shown thetongue-shifting mechanism is neat in appearance, and no portion thereofprojects in a manner that might lead to its accidental displacement.

, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is-

1. The combination of a frame furnished with run ways at its sides;sash'carrying strips sliding in said runways respectively and grooved ontheir sash-engaging faces respectively; a sash furnished in itsstiles-with grooves which register with the grooves of the sash-carryingstrips respectively; tongues in the grooves on the opposite sides ofthesash respectively tochamber Within their respective'sash-grooves and toslide outward across the joint betweenthe sash and the sash-carryingstrips respectively; a pivotal connection extending through; one of saidtongues and connecting one sash-carrying strip with one stile of thesash; another pivotal connection extending through the other tongue andpivotally connecting the other sash-carrying strip with the other stileof the sash; tongue-J operating rods fastened to the tonguesrespectively and extending through the sash-stiles respectively for thepurpose. of moving said. tongues to and fro at a right angle to thegrooves therefor respectively; and frictionspringsin the sash-groovesrespectively frictionally engaging directly upon the tonguesrespectively, and adapted to retain said tongues in difierent edgewisepositions.
